WASHINGTON, D.C. - Two PACA violators in Florida and Utah have been restricted from operating in the produce industry, according to a press release.
Wing On Food Inc., a West Valley, Utah-based company, failed to pay a $14,796 award in favor of a California seller. Chun S. Tseung was listed as the Officer, Director, and major stockholder of the business.
Florida Fresh Tropicals LLC, a Miami, Florida-based company, failed to pay a $183,726 award in favor of a Florida seller. Jesse J. Fernandez was listed as a member of the business.
In the past three years, the USDA resolved approximately 4,600 claims under the PACA involving more than $87 million. Individuals, including sole proprietors, partners, members, managers, officers, directors, or major stockholders may not be employed or affiliated with any PACA licensee without the approval of the USDA. The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), PACA Division, regulates fair trading practices of produce businesses operating subject to PACA.
